Not sure why it needs me to close VLC and CD art Display:

My new browser though.

I have lived without all the Firefox extensions for a good while now so hello IE9 :D

I dunno why it had to close all my apps either but hell I'll take this new method over having to restart. In the end after it's done it restarts the apps it seems. I like this change, it's about time installing/updating IE doesn't need a damn restart of Windows.

Like I wrote down earlier: Compared to what you see with Safari 5 on Mac OS X the animations of IE 9 really aren't that smooth. I'm not saying the feature doesn't work the way it should, I'm just saying the actual animations are pretty rough.

I understood what you said. I'm saying they are not rough at all for me. Tearing off a tab goes very smoothly from it being a tab on the window to a separate tab page. There is no jerkiness or flickering or anything. The window border smoothly fades away as the tab is dragged.

It updates the Internet Options control panel so anything using it for obtaining network settings has to be closed.

which are the benefits for grouping tabs anyway ?

It makes it easier to see that those tabs are the same web site. :)

If you're doing a lot of tasks at once, tab groups help you keep track of which tags belong to each task, which can come in handy sometimes. That said though, the feature is far from perfect.

I'm a Chrome user, decided to switch to IE for a while. It definitely looks sleak, but I don't see how this will be sucessful when there's Chrome and Firefox, which do what IE9 does and more. I like the pinned tabs and group tabs, but I'd rather have a fully standards-compliant browser (IE9 only scores 95 at Acid3), spell checking and a download manager that doesn't look like a kid put it together.

( it doesn't work anyway..still colored)

Did you restart the browser?

^ Yup, having the same issue. Works fine in Compatibility Mode though, for now I'll just use that. The beauty of the web indeed...

According to the W3 validator that page has 103 errors on it. Not really IE's fault. ;)

Just add the site to the compatibility list.

Download manager notwithstanding, there is now the Speckie extension for in-line spellchecking, and the 95/100 on Acid3 was by design since those last 5 points aren't in the official HTML5 spec.

Anyone know how to enable the DoNotTrack header functions added in the RTM (as mentioned here)?

I'll see if my drivers are up-to-date, maybe that will fix things.

Why does the Ad Bot pop-up?? Clearly I'm logged in, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this message. :blink:

I'm seeing the adbot posts too. I think it's a Neowin glitch.

I've entered a defect report for the Aero Snap tab issue here if you want to vote on it.

Question -- when I open a pinned website, why does IE 9 open with no toolbars? Is this normal, or something I'm doing wrong?

They changed that behavior in the release candidate. I was actually hoping they would. Even more convenient would have been to allow separate favorite bars for pinned sites, but oh well... :D

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
